00:22With the host of Double Dare, Alex Trebek!
00:29Thank you. Thank you very much.
00:33Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome once again to our game of knowledge and nerve.
00:37Double Dare as we start our countdown to the end of 1976.
00:40Hope this has been a very good year for each and every one of you.
00:44I know it's going to end up in fine fashion for one of our contestants,
00:47so let's go over and meet the players right now, shall we?
00:49First, here's our returning champion, Chuck Logue.
00:52How are you today, Chuck?
00:53Pretty good, Alex. How are you?
00:55Not too bad.
00:57You are the player I was referring to with regard to a 1976 ending in fine fashion,
01:02because so far as our champion on Double Dare, Chuck has won $5,550 in cash.
01:10Saving up for summer, right?
01:11I sure am.
01:12Okay, good luck to you on the program today. Let's say hello to your opponents.
01:16Challenging Chuck Logue is Alan Lusher.
01:18Hi, Alan.
01:19Hi, Alex.
01:22I got the impression when you made your debut on our last show that you're the type of guy that
01:27is anxious to get things going.
01:29Would you rather stand here and chat with me right now, or shall we start the game?
01:32Ah, let's start the game, but I want to say one thing first, Alex.
01:35Okay.
01:35I'm grateful for this opportunity to display my ignorance nationwide audience.
01:41Okay, fine.
01:42Well, you have been displaying more than your ignorance so far, because in the current game, you are, as you
01:47know, in the lead.
01:48You've got $150 on the board, and our returning champion has yet to score.
01:53So good luck to you today.
01:54Thanks.
01:54As you know, a game is $500, and in case you folks are joining us for the first time, let
01:59me explain very quickly how Double Dare is played.
02:02We show our contestants clues that help them to identify a person, a place, or a thing.
02:07The clues appear one at a time.
02:08They get easier as we go along, and the first player to buzz in with a correct answer wins $50
02:12and the right to make a dare.
02:14To assist you folks at home, we are going to show you right now the correct answer to our first
02:20subject.
02:20If you'd like to play along with our contestants, then don't look at the screen right now until you hear
02:25the chime, because we're showing you the right answer.
02:29Now you can look, and players, you can look also at this board as we show you clue number one.
02:36In medical school, he did a psychiatric study refuting his colleague's theory that Jesus was paranoid.
02:43Clue number two.
02:45His reputation as a theologian was established by his book, The Quest for the Historical Jesus.
02:50Clue number three.
02:52During World War I, he and his wife were interned as enemy aliens in French Equatorial Africa, and that is
02:58Alan's buzzer.
02:58He has sealed Chuck's booth.
03:00Chuck can't see or hear what's going on right now.
03:01Alan, your answer.
03:02I'll take a chance on Albert Schweitzer.
03:04You'll take a chance, and you'll wind up winning $50.
03:07That's the right answer.
03:09Alan, you're now in a dare situation.
03:12I want you to take a look at the next clue.
03:15His grave on the banks of the Ogoovi River in Gabon is marked by a cross he built himself.
03:21That's the dare clue.
03:23If you take the dare and show Chuck that clue, and he doesn't come up with Albert Schweitzer, then you
03:27add $100, and you will have a $300 lead in this game.
03:31If he gets the right answer, then he will pick up $50.
03:33What are you going to do?
03:34I'll take the dare and give him the clue.
03:36Fine.
03:36Let's bring Chuck back.
03:39Alan came up with the right answer, Chuck, and you've got five seconds to look at this dare clue.
03:50Your answer.
03:52No answer.
03:53All right.
03:53We close you off.
03:54We give Alan $100.
03:55He's up to $300.
03:56And it's double dare time.
03:58Aren't you glad we got into the game immediately?
04:01Alan, in this double dare situation, if you take the double dare, show Chuck the clue, and he doesn't get
04:07it, you will wind up with an additional $200.
04:10And that will make you our new champion.
04:12But before you tell me whether you want to take the double dare, look at the clue.
04:16He had a special zinc-lined piano built so that he could play Bach in the jungle.
04:22Do you want to take...
04:23It's awful tough, but I'll double dare and take the clue.
04:25All right.
04:27Good challenge.
04:28All right.
04:28Let's bring Chuck back.
04:30He's taking the double dare.
04:32You've got five seconds to look at this clue and come up with the right answer, or we've got a
04:37new champion.
04:37Here it is.
04:44Chuck?
04:45Dr. Schweitzer?
04:46You're right.
04:47You're right for $100 on a double dare.
04:51Nice going.
04:51You've managed to stay alive in this game.
04:53Alan's still in the lead, however.
04:54He's got $300, and we have to take a break.
04:57Please don't go away.
05:03Welcome back to Double Dare.
05:04In the last five minutes or so, our challenger, Alan Lusher, has increased his lead over the champion.
05:10He now has $300 to Chuck Logue's $100.
05:13We're going on to another subject.
05:14We'll show the folks at home the right answer, first of all.
05:18And players, look at this first clue as we open the doors.
05:22He was born on Valentine's Day, but when he died is not known.
05:27Clue number two.
05:29He started at 32 cents an hour, and he worked his way up to $100,000 a year.
05:36Clue number four.

05:48He's been called both a populist rebel and a ruthless czar.
05:53Next clue.
05:55He first tangled with Bobby Kennedy when the Senate investigated his union activities in 1957.
05:59That's Alan's buzzer.
06:00Your answer.
06:01Jimmy Hoffa.
06:02You're right.
06:03Okay, Alan.
06:04$350.
06:06Dare time for you.
06:07Take a look at the next clue.
06:09At Lewisburg Prison, he was inmate number 33298-NE.
06:14Do you want to take the dare and show it to Chuck?
06:16If Chuck has the answer, he already knows it.
06:18I'll take a chance and dare him.
06:20Okay.
06:20Let's bring Chuck back.
06:24He got the right answer.
06:25He's taking the dare.
06:26You've got five seconds to look at this clue.
06:33Chuck is nodding his head.
06:35What's the answer?
06:36Jimmy Hoffa.
06:36You're right.
06:37Did you have it before that clue, Chuck?
06:40Well, Alan, you were right.
06:41He did have it.
06:42He now has $150.
06:43You still have a $200 lead as we go to a next subject and another correct answer for you folks
06:48to look at at home.
06:52Here's the first clue coming up on our board.
06:55He got his television job when the prior holder was convicted of a misdemeanor and a felony.
07:02Clue number two.
07:04In 1953, he was a disc jockey with WFIL in Philadelphia.
07:09Number three.
07:11He referred to the Young Doctors in which he appeared as the only good movie I ever made.
07:17Alan's buzzer.
07:17Dick Clark.
07:18Yeah.
07:19That's it.
07:19You're off to $400.
07:21And it's dare time.
07:22If you take the dare and it works, you'll be the new champion.
07:26Let's look at the clue together.
07:27In 1957, Simon and Garfunkel appeared as Tom and Jerry on his show, lip syncing their song,
07:33Hey, School Girl.
07:35That's the dare clue.
07:36Do you want to take the dare?
07:37Chuck has $150 right now.
07:39It's almost a dead ringer, but I'll take it.
07:40I'll take the dare.
07:41Fine.
07:42Let's bring Chuck back.
07:44Alan got the right answer.
07:45He has taken the dare.
07:47Unless you come up with the right answer, we've got a new champion.
07:50Here's the clue for five seconds.
07:57Chuck.
07:58Dick Clark.
07:59You're right.
08:00Coming through again.
08:02You guys performed very well under pressure.
08:05And the lead remains the same.
08:07A $200 margin for our challenger, Alan.
08:10We've got to take a commercial break or two right now.
08:12Then we'll come back and I think we'll probably decide the game.
08:16But first, these words.
08:21Okay, we're ready to continue.
08:23Our challenger leading $400 to $200 over the champion.
08:26And we will show you folks at home the right answer.
08:29And I will tell you players that this time the subject is a thing.
08:35A thing.
08:36Clue number one coming up on our board.
08:49Clue number two.
08:50The title of Eric Ambler's 1952 thriller described one for Dimitrios.
08:57Number three coming up.
08:58Clue number four.
08:59In 1884, Carl Radel of Vienna patented a version with a pull cord to set off an alarm in case
09:06a mistake had been made.
09:09Clue number four.
09:11Sarah Bernhard slept in one line with letters from her lovers.
09:14And that's Chuck's buzzer, the champion.
09:16What's the answer?
09:16A coffin.
09:17You're right.
09:18A coffin it is for $50.
09:20Taking it at $250.
09:22And dare time.
09:24Let's look at the next clue together, Chuck.
09:26In Moby Dick, one served as a life preserver for Ishmael.
09:29That's the dare clue.
09:30Do you want to take it and give it to Alan?
09:32He knows that, but I've got to go.
09:33You've got to go.
09:34All right.
09:35If he gets the right answer, he'll have $450 and be one correct answer away from winning match.
09:40Let's bring Alan back.
09:42Chuck gave us the right answer and he has taken the dare.
09:45You've got five seconds, Alan, to look at this clue.
09:53A coffin.
09:54A coffin is right.
09:56Oh, good going.
09:58Chuck felt he had to take the chance there just in case.
10:01It might have worked out, but right now you have, again, a $200 lead, $450 to $250,
10:06and you're just one right answer away from becoming the new champion.
10:10Let's show the folks at home the correct answer on our next subject.
10:16This time, players, the subject is an event.
10:20First clue.
10:23Two men, George L. Anderson and Alfred M. Martin, were the principal strategists at this event a couple of months
10:31ago.
10:32Clue number two.
10:34The first of these events, held in 1903, attracted about 100,000 spectators.
10:39Next.
10:40It's something that happens annually.
10:44Remember, it's an event.
10:45Clue number four.
10:46More or less by tradition, champagne pours freely at its conclusion, usually over people's heads.
10:51Champions buzzer.
10:52Chuck, the answer.
10:53The World Series.
10:54That is correct.
10:55For $50.
10:56And you're moving up nicely, Chuck.
10:57You now have $300.
11:00And a chance to make it even tighter.
11:01This is dare time for you.
11:03Let's take a look at the clue.
11:05More often than not, it takes place in two different cities.
11:07That's the dare clue.
11:08You take the dare.
11:09You show it to him.
11:10He doesn't get it.
11:11I'll take the dare.
11:11You've got $400.
11:13If he gets it, you lose.
11:15Let's bring Alan back.
11:17Chuck came up with the right answer.
11:19He's taken the dare.
11:19You've got five seconds to look at this clue and perhaps become the new champion.
11:24Keeping your fingers crossed won't help you, Alan.
11:26Here's where you demonstrate how sharp you are.
11:31Alex?
11:34Might as well take the full five seconds.
11:36And the answer?
11:36The World Series.
11:37The World Series.
11:38And we've got a new champion for $500.
11:39Come out here.
11:41Good job.
11:43The gamble didn't pay off for you, but that's the way it works sometimes on Double Dare.
11:48You've got $300 in cash added to your previous winnings.
11:52$5,550.
11:54So that means $5,850.
11:56Plus the gifts we have backstage.
11:58Congratulations.
11:59Happy New Year to you.
12:00Thanks a lot, Alex.
12:01Good luck, Alex.
12:02Alan, come over here.
12:03You know you can't shake hands with him.
12:05We've got the boots sealed up.
12:07Congratulations to you.
12:08You've got an even $500.
12:10And right now, you've got a chance to increase that tenfold.
12:15You ready?
12:15I'm over here.
12:16A possible $5,000 as you get to play The Spoilers.
12:25Alan, you're a brand new champion.
12:27And so I'll explain to you that the reason they're called Spoilers is because they win money if they can
12:33keep you from winning money.
12:34Now each of our Spoilers is a PhD and we have three new PhDs to introduce on the program today.
12:40So let me introduce them right now.
12:42Spoiler number one is Dr. E. Bradford Burns.
12:46Spoiler number two is Dr. Sally Wallace.
12:50And spoiler number three is Dr. Edward Taylor.
12:53Those are the spoilers.
12:54Let's shut them out right now so they cannot hear what is going on.
12:58You know how you beat them?
12:59We have a board over here with eight clues that lead to the identity of a person, place, or thing.
13:04Your job is to give four clues to the spoilers and hope they don't come up with the right answer.
13:09Each time one of the spoilers misses, we pay you $100.
13:14See, I'm trying to get $50 off you already.
13:17We pay you $100.
13:18If you can get four clues past just one spoiler, then you win $5,000.
13:24Y'all set for that?
13:26Let's take a look at the top of the board and see the correct answer.
13:30The correct answer is John D. Rockefeller.
13:32That is obviously a person.
13:33Pick a clue.
13:34Number six.
13:36According to an old saying, he would have given a cool million for a good stomach.
13:41Now, you can give that clue to the spoilers or you can pass.
13:45You're allowed four passes.
13:47What do you want to do?
13:47I'm going to give that clue.
13:49Fine.
13:50Spoilers.
13:51The subject is a person and here is the clue.
13:53According to an old saying, he would have given a cool million for a good stomach.
13:57We'll go to spoiler number one.
13:59Dr. Burns.
14:01I need an answer.
14:02I don't know.
14:03All right.
14:03Too much time.
14:04And that means $100 for our champion.
14:06We'll go to spoiler number two.
14:08Dr. Wallace.
14:09John D. Rockefeller.
14:13You're absolutely right.
14:14And you have just won $100.
14:17But we're still in good shape because the other spoilers didn't hear her correct answer.
14:21Let's go to spoiler number three.
14:23Dr. Taylor, your answer, please.
14:25W.C. Fields.
14:26That is wrong.
14:27And that means that, Alan, you now have $200.
14:31Pick another clue for me.
14:33Number three.
14:34That's six and eight.
14:35Number three.
14:36His grandsons, Nelson and Winthrop, became governors of state.
14:41I'll take the audience's advice and pass on that one.
14:43Okay, fine.
14:44You have used a pass and you have given away a clue.
14:46Pick another.
14:47Let's try number one.
14:49At night, he walked through the offices of Standard Oil, turning down the gas jets.
14:54Give it or pass.
14:55Buddy, I'll pass that one.
14:57All right.
14:57Two passes.
14:59Select another clue.
15:00Number eight.
15:02Will Rogers once gave him a dime.
15:04I'll take that one.
15:06Give that to the spoilers.
15:07Spoilers?
15:08Will Rogers once gave him a dime.
15:11Let's go to Dr. Burns first.
15:13W.C. Fields.
15:14You are incorrect.
15:15That's another $100 for our champion.
15:17We'll go to spoiler number three.
15:19Dr. Taylor, do you have an answer?
15:21No answer.
15:22All right.
15:23That's another $100 taking you to $400.
15:25You've given away two.
15:26You've used two passes.
15:27Pick another clue.
15:28Let's try two.
15:30The family he founded has been called America's Medici's.
15:34Ooh.
15:36Tuffy.
15:39You've got two passes to go.
15:40I'll pass.
15:41All right.
15:42You have now one pass still to go.
15:45You've got to give away two more clues.
15:47Number seven.
15:49He bought the Iron Rich Mesabi range for a song and sold it to J.P. Morgan for $80 million.
15:56Give it or pass.
15:58I'll give it to him.
15:59Okay.
16:00Spoilers?
16:02He bought the Iron Rich Mesabi range for a song and sold it to J.P. Morgan for $80 million.
16:07Dr. Burns, may we hear your answer?
16:10Huntington.
16:10You are incorrect.
16:12That's another $100.
16:14Let's go to Dr. Taylor.
16:16Your answer.
16:17Andrew Carnegie.
16:18You are wrong.
16:19Wait.
16:20Wait.
16:20$600.
16:22There are two clues remaining.
16:24You have one pass still to use.
16:27All you have to do is get one clue past either one of the two spoilers that remain and you
16:34win $5,000.
16:36Pick a clue.
16:37Number four.
16:39He has been compared to Bismarck, Napoleon, and St. Francis of Assisi.
16:45Give that clue.
16:47If it gets by just one of the spoilers, $5,000, Alan.
16:52Spoilers?
16:53He has been compared to Bismarck, Napoleon, and St. Francis of Assisi.
17:00Dr. Burns, your answer.
17:04Need an answer?
17:05Too much time.
17:06$5,000 for the timing.
17:08Let's go, Alan.
17:09The right answer, spoilers, is John D. Rockefeller.
17:13Thank you, spoilers, and congratulations again to you, Alan.
17:17You now have $5,500 and you're going into another match against the challenger.
17:22But first, let us take this break for these important words.
17:30Alan Lusher with $5,500 in cash winnings on Double Dare and now in our champions booth.
17:35And you look just as nervous as you did as a challenger.
17:38Do you feel nervous?
17:39Alex, you put me in another tax bracket.
17:41Another tax bracket.
17:42Okay, well, I hope you won't hold it against us.
17:44Good luck to you.
17:45Let's say hello to your opponent.
17:47Challenging Alan Lusher is Judy Swann.
17:50Hi, Judy.
17:50Hi.
17:52Very briefly, tell me something about yourself.
17:54I'm a medical technologist.
17:56I work in the laboratory at the San Bernino County Medical Center.
17:59Do you have a family?
18:00I have a family, two children, one of them in the audience.
18:02Okay, do they do a lot of testing with you?
18:04Do they ask you questions to see if you can come up with the right answer?
18:07They don't try very much.
18:08They don't try.
18:09They know they can't stump their mom.
18:10All right, good luck to you, Judy.
18:12The game is $500, as you know.
18:14We're going to start this one off by showing our home audience the correct answer.
18:20And you're looking for a person.
18:22So let's go to the board and see clue number one.
18:25He was the toughest kid at PS 106, but also the class clown.
18:30Clue number two.
18:32Of his short-lived football experience at Michigan State, he says,
18:35They sent me home in a box.
18:37Number three.
18:38Playing a real-life professional football player in a 1971 television movie skyrocketed his career.
18:44Judy's buzzer seals Alan's booth.
18:46What's the answer?
18:47Charlton Heston.
18:48Charlton Heston is incorrect.
18:50Good guess, though.
18:51We'll close you off and we'll bring Alan back.
18:54Judy gave us a wrong answer, so a bonus for you.
18:57A look at the penalty clue and a free guess.
18:59Here it is.
19:00Clue number four.
19:00In his first movie, Lady in a Cage, he terrorized poor Olivia de Havilland.
19:05What's the answer, Alan?
19:06James Caan.
19:06You are right for $50, an early lead in this match.
